Focus Financial Partners, the advisor rollup firm led by CEO Rudy Adolf, said Tuesday that 17 independent RIAs with more than $1.6 billion in client assets have entered into deals with its Focus Successions program since the project launched last year.
The firm, which has $65 billion in total client assets and 27 wealth-management partners, notes that its succession planning solution helps small to midsize advisors provide continuous service to clients, should the advisors wish to retire or face an unexpected life event, by matching advisors throughout the different partners that are part of Focus.
"The absence of robust continuity plans for small and midsize advisory practices remains one of our industry's greatest risks," said Managing Director Michael Paley, in a press release.
"We are delighted with the industry response to the Focus Successions program and have added new talent to the Focus Successions team to help us address the interest the program has generated," Paley added.
Last month, Focus said that one of its members, The Colony Group, merged with Prosper Advisors, an independent RIA with more than $300 million in client assets. Prosper is led by Dina Lee. It has offices in Armonk, N.Y., and Manhattan. Colony's client assets stand at more than $3 billion.
"Focus Successions does a brilliant job of finding the appropriate candidates for a succession agreement and finding the right fit between firms to meet the continuity needs of our industry," said Michael Nathanson, president of The Colony Group, in a statement.
The firms that have signed agreements through the program are based in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Texas. Each has $20 million to $300 million in client assets.

Microsoft Word 2010 Updated Features and Benefits
Microsoft Word is the workhorse of the Microsoft Office Suite.
While some users make extensive use of Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, virtually every computer user makes use of a word processor, and the most ubiquitous word processing application in the world is Microsoft Word.
That is why when Microsoft releases a new version of Office, it is the functionality and performance of Word that often drives initial public opinion and acceptance of the overall upgrade.
It is, therefore, somewhat telling that Microsoft decided to include MS Word among those applications that got the new Ribbon interface in Microsoft Office 2007. It is just as telling that Microsoft did not include the Ribbon interface on Microsoft Outlook in Office 2007, which is used extensively in corporate environments.
Between those two applications, Microsoft got perhaps the biggest possible side-by-side test of Ribbon versus no Ribbon in the business setting. Office 2010 will include the Ribbon interface on all products, including Outlook 2010, so it is clear to see what Microsoft thought of how well the Ribbon worked.
Word 2010: Ribbon User Interface Updated
While Word got the new ribbon look in Office 2007, that upgrade was not the type of universal upgrade that past versions of Office were. For many users Word 2010 Beta will be their first look at the new Ribbon interface. They will benefit from the lessons learned in Office 2007 and Word 2007.
For example, Word 2007 uses the Office Icon in the place of the File menu. However, that proved confusing to a generation of users already very used to the File menu. So, the File Menu is back for Word 2010.
The purpose of the Ribbon interface was to reduce the complexity of finding and navigating the ever growing list of features in the Microsoft Office Suite applications, including MS Word. One of the strange things that Microsoft noticed over the years was that it got a high number of requests for features in Word that were already in the product. The company concluded that most users simply did not know what they could and could not do in Word past the basic, long-established features.
When Microsoft attempted to code usability into the standard menu system by including popular or most commonly used features on the main level of the menus, too much was left two, three, or even four clicks deep in the menu structure. The Ribbon allowed for many of those features to be made more accessible or even visible from the main editing screen. As a result, many users will find "new" features in Word 2010 Beta that have actually been there for a long time.
Best Word 2010 Features New and Old
• The Ribbon
Obviously, the Ribbon will cause some issues in the beginning for new users, but once you get used to it, it not only accomplishes the goal of making features more discoverable, it makes working with them faster and easier too.
Everything from bullets, to outlines, to fonts, and colors are faster and easier, which means you are more likely to use them. (Word is still annoyingly inept at getting an outline to do what you want it to do, however.)
Under the old Word menu system, most people just stuck with bold, underline, and italics. If it was really necessary, a color or highlight might be thrown in, but that was it. With headings and other formats now just a click away, users are more likely to use multiple headings (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). The headings themselves aren't the good part; the good part is not having to do something extreme to make sure that really important heading stands out from the normal headings like having it Bolded, Underlined, and Italicized, with Title Caps and an Exclamation Point!
•Super Easy Customization
One of the things Word always brought to the table over smaller "easier" word processing programs was the ability to customize it to the user's needs. Unfortunately, that customization was one of the features that was too hidden, or too complex to use. I've watched as attorneys borrowed the receptionist's computer so that they could type a regular document without the legal dictionary, grammar checker, and customized auto-formatting on, instead of using the customization features.
In Word 2010, one of the easiest customizations is also the most helpful. Every user needs Word for a different reason. Whether it is writing papers for school, typing up letters, doing mailings, or drafting legislation — different people need Word to do different things. Thanks to the Quick Access Toolbar, Word can do what YOU need it to do, fast and easy.
Just click the drop down arrow and choose whichever commands and icons you want to have displayed. You can even move it above or below the Ribbon with a single click based on your preference. As a writer I do a lot of "seeing what it would look like," before deciding whether to keep it, so my QAT has Undo and Redo on it, plus New, Open, Save, Print Preview, and Print, just because I'm so used to them.
By using the QAT, I don't have to care about where Microsoft put the Save button in the default setup (on the Office Backstage view that appears when you click File), because it is right where I want it in MY setup.
• Improved Pasting
One thing that has always been tricky in Microsoft Word is copying and pasting, if what is being pasted is not unformatted text or from another Office Document. Savvy users got used to Right-Clicking in order to bring up the menu to paste plain text, but that often cost as much time in reformatting as it saved.
This glitch alone drove me to figure out and eventually use Microsoft OneNote, which handles Paste from anything flawlessly.
With the new paste function, by default three different paste options show up. That wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it also comes with a live in-text preview of what it will look like. Just hover the mouse over one of the pasting options and Word will show what the document will look like if that option is selected. If the full-format paste is too messed up, check use of the other options.
Either way, users will now know which paste method is best for each situation BEFORE pasting. (Maybe I won't need those Undo / Redo buttons so much anymore.)
• Better Printing and File Options
The ability to do a print preview or change to landscape or portrait has been in Word forever, but it has always been just a little bit harder to do than it should be. Word 2010 eliminates this issue forever.
Click File -> Print (or CTRL-P) and you automatically get a Print Preview in addition to easy access to all the most common printing options all within Word. Finally, you won't have to click Printer Properties to make simple changes. You can change orientation, paper size, collating options, and more from one screen regardless of what printer or driver you have installed. You can even change the margins and other layout features from the same screen without "going back" into the main Word editing screen.
What's New in Word 2010 Beta?
• Search
Improvements in MS Word 2010 search functionality aren't flash, but there are so very useful.
The find feature on Word was just fine for shorter documents but scrolling through the highlighted results in a 300 page manuscript wasn't fun. Better highlighting and a table of contents style bar down the side of the results make it easier than ever to find what you actually want.
• Co-Authoring
One of the new features that Microsoft is heavily touting for Word 2010 is simultaneous collaboration. Previously, if you tried to access a Word document that someone else had open, you got a message about the file being locked and having to open it in Read-Only mode.
Recent Microsoft and third-party collaboration tools allowed documents or sections to be worked on at the same time by both users with each user's changes being reincorporated together into the original file after each user was finished.
What Microsoft Word 2010 co-authoring feature does is allow multiple users to be simultaneously editing the file at the same time, with both edits appearing on both screens in real time. In other words, while I'm typing this sentence here, someone could be changing the paragraph's heading, and I could see those changes as they were making them.
If you are thinking that this feature sounds creepy and distracting, you aren't wrong, on shorter documents at least. The idea of someone hitting backspace to change the sentence directly above the one you are typing is indeed both distracting and a little bit unsettling. (Ghosts in the machine, anyone?)
However, on larger documents like a documentation manual or quarterly report, users are less likely to be editing close enough together for both to show on the screen at once. But, when User A goes to reference a page number that changed just seconds ago due to some additions by User B, User A will scroll over and find the current real-time page number and not what the page number was when the file was opened.
• Images and Graphics
Another update in MS Word 2010 is better handling, usage, and creation of graphics and images. SmartArt Graphics allow users to create simple charts or graphs inside of Word, directly from their text. No more need to load up Visio just to create a simple three step diagram.
Also, image editing features have been improved and updated. Things like adding shadows, watermarks, and rotating images can all be done inside of Word. You can even adjust the color saturation and temperature of pictures for optimal printing without having to launch an external image editor.
• Screenshot Tool
Word also comes with a new screenshot tool built-in which is sure to be an enormous boon to the technical documentation crowd, as well as those who use screenshots or snapshots of websites as collateral in their documents.
Microsoft Word definitely doesn't have a big flashy update from Office 2007 to Office 2010, but if you are migrating from Office 2000, prepare to be amazed. For users of Office 2007, your reason to upgrade to 2010 will have to come from another MS Office application.

The gf has quite expensive taste.
For a special treat we stayed at the Cerulean Tower in Shibuya.
Our room was on the 33rd floor. The view from the window was fantastic.
In the picture you can see the Hachiko crossing outside the station, Harajuku, the immense Yoyogi park, as well the skyscrapers of Shinjuku in the background. VERY cool.
Once settled in, we went up to the Executive Salon for some free snacks. Now, by snacks I mean we ate and drank the place virtually dry.
There was an assortment of delicious cheeses, chocolates, biscuits and cakes that we had ample servings of, as well as two Asahi, a Guinness and champagne. Nice.
From there I rushed a little drunkenly ahead of the gf into the heart of Shibuya to get to some shops before they closed.
I mainly wanted to get that Red Bazooka t-shirt I've been mulling over for quite a while.
The sales girl spoke good English. She wouldn't let me try on the actual shirt. She allowed me to try a sample of another shirt to get the size right. It felt a bit awkward taking off my shirt in the middle of the store, but at least I was the only customer there at the time.
She was really helpful. I was deciding between small and medium. I've lost a lot of weight in Japan so I was a little worried getting a shirt that I might grow out of quickly.
In the end I got the smaller size anyway as it looked more "fitted" than the other one.
At another store nearby they had a sale. Two shirts for about 2000 yen. Some of them had the craziest undecipherable English.
They had dressing rooms, but they wouldn't let me try them on. Huh? No sale, SEE YOU. I'm not buying anything without trying it on first.
The next morning we had a nice breakfast, again in the Executive Salon. I tried to eat as much as I could and I think I succeeded.
To my thinking it's strange to stay in a hotel when I'm living in the same city. Having said that, it was a more than nice little outing for both of us.
Thanks gf.

Archbishop Gregory's Synod Comments
Below is the text of the remarks made yesterday by Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta to the Second Synod for Africa:
"I welcome this opportunity to summarize the importance that this Second Synod for Africa holds for the Church in the United States of America. We Americans find ourselves increasingly drawn in by issues and events that occur on the African continent. We, like people everywhere, feel ever more acutely the impact of the intensifying global character of our world.
First and foremost, we praise Almighty God for the gift of the one faith that binds the Church in the United States to all of the other Churches throughout the world.
Our Catholic community has benefited directly during the past generation from a growing number of clergy and religious from the great African continent who now serve Catholics throughout our nation and who serve them generously and zealously. We know though their presence of the deep faith and generosity of the Church in Africa.
The Church in the U.S.A. is also deeply grateful for the opportunity to assist the local churches in Africa, through the support of Catholic Relief Services, by the many and varied missionary cooperative ventures that spring from the generous heart of our people and frequently bind diocese to diocese and parish to parish in mutual prayer, financial assistance, and by personal contacts.
I am happy and proud to report that agencies within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have a long history of working with the Episcopal Conferences and associations of Episcopal Conferences on the African continent in the pursuit of peace and justice. These are very positive signs in which the Church in my country and the Church in the countries of Africa have engaged each other in the work of evangelization and social outreach and thus have rendered the theme for this synod "In Service to Reconciliation, Justice and Peace" an important reminder of how the Church in the U.S.A. and the Church in Africa are conjoined in faith and in charity.
Yet we know that we can merely say in the words of St. Luke's Gospel, "We have done only what we ought to have done" [Luke 17:10b]. We recognize that the greatest resource that the Church in Africa has are its people. The Church in the U.S.A. continues to benefit from those people from Africa who recently have come as visitors and new residents to our shores. These new arrivals come, not like those of an earlier moment in time, wearing chains and as human chattel, but as skilled workers, professionally trained businessmen, and students eager to make a new life in a land that they view as promising. Many of these new peoples bring with them a profound and dynamic Catholic faith with its rich spiritual heritage. These wonderful people challenge us to rediscover our own spiritual traditions that so often are set aside because of the influence of our secular pursuits.
While my own nation has made outstanding and blessed progress in our own struggle for racial reconciliation and justice, we have not yet achieved that perfection to which the Gospel summons all humanity. We also need to achieve reconciliation, justice and peace in our own land until as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. writing from a jail in Birmingham, Ala., paraphrased the Prophet Amos and we see the ultimate fulfillment of our great potential, and [5:24] "Let justice roll down like the waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
This great land of Africa has many other resources that the world today lusts for and at times pursues with ravishing greed and frequent violence. Your resources are a blessing for this planet that can be used to bring not only prosperity to the peoples of Africa but properly viewed bring a sense of the oneness of the earth and the interconnectedness that people everywhere have when we wisely use the natural resources that God has placed in our hands as a common patrimony.
I am deeply grateful to our Holy Father for inviting me to engage my brother bishops from the African continent and to learn from them some of their hopes, struggles and dreams and to share with them the deep affection and respect of the Church in the United States of America."

Many may know the famous Nokturnal Car Club as being a predominantly modern club filled with newer model Euros, SUVs, and luxury cars, fitted with larger sized custom rims and sporty interiors. Nokturnal may be a club at the forefront of car customizing in the sport genre, but when it comes to traditional style Lowriding, the Nokturnal Car Club is not a name that comes to mind. Showing just how diverse their club can be, though, a member from their Fresno chapter, George Ramirez, decided to step out with a custom Lowrider. Known as "Chucky" amongst his friends and fellow club members, George decided to go old school and re-up a classic G-body ride, with this '84 Oldsmobile Cutlass, known as "Low Nok." For a mere $2300, Chucky secured the vehicle, before investing another fifteen thousand dollars and two and a half years of his life transforming this seemingly traditional GM car into something quite extraordinary.
At a glance, this Cutty may look like the typical full-custom Lowrider car from the mid-90s, with its standard painted patterns, coffin-style interior, and airbrushed murals. Given a closer look, however, any true car enthusiast can see the time and attention to detail that went into creating "Low Nok." Many current Lowrider enthusiasts have integrated modern styles from the other car customizing genres into building their own versions of Lowriders. This influence from hot rods, low rods and import tuners, as well as the latest technology in paintjobs, tweed interiors, and engine modifications have led to the creation of some truly unique, albeit "new school" Lowriders. Chucky chose to keep his build traditional, all the way down to the crystal chandelier hanging from his car's ceiling and its two front swivel seats!
This Cutlass was the kind of car that Chucky dreamed about while he was still in school, back in 1992. Through graduation, military service, and full-time work, those dreams became closer to reality, as he had obtained the money he needed to craft this one-of-a-kind Cutty. At first, Chucky says this ride was to be an occasional cruiser with periodic switch hitting, but the urge to go further in the design of this ride could not be resisted. As the customizations progressed, so did the level of modifications in this G-body. Chucky thanks his family and friends for making his dream come true against all odds, support that he remains forever grateful for. Chucky insists that he's not done with "Low Nok" yet; he already has a Continental Kit in his possession that he's about to install on the rear bumper. More plans are on the way, but he says those will remain a surprise for now.

Ugh...I do NOT understand that woman. I have never wandered through the meat section of my local market and thought, "that would be fantastic as a skirt...steak".
Though if someone wanted to dress in a meat dress, I could see doing faux meat...like felt or other fabric made to look like T-bones. Real meat?! So unsanitary...

good advice on the hair.
Lady Gaga got what she wanted from that dress and it wasn't dinner, just some PR.

Utter grossness. And yet, I'm sure they'll be out there, the wackadoos in their meat dresses.
I had some great instructions the other day. I was blowing up a kiddie pool for our ducks. (Don't ask.) I happened to glance at the instructions. It said, "Warning: Do not ingest this pool." We have to be told not to eat an inflatable swimming pool? Since when?

Ratzeburg Cathedral is one of the oldest brick churches in northern Germany. The brickwork is exposed, making it a very vivid basilica and a cathedral of simple beauty, with an opulent interior and the spirit of days gone by when the first Protestant preacher paved the way for a new era here...
In 1566, Georg Usler became the first minister of Ratzeburg Cathedral after its conversion to Protestantism, around 300 years after the start of construction of the cathedral, which was founded and made an episcopal church by Henry the Lion. Visitors admiring the pulpit and its relief would be forgiven for thinking that Usler still delivers his sermons there today.
Ratzeburg Cathedral with its cloister and monastic buildings sits atop the island city like a fortress. It is almost fully intact and one of the few late Romantic sites still in existence in Europe. It boasts an opulent interior, including a magnificent Renaissance-style pulpit and a carved winged altar from the late Gothic period with artistically painted tableaus on the back, which visitors would never be able to guess from the outside. The early Baroque high altar, the Gothic sedilia with its intricate carvings and the choir stalls – the oldest in all of northern Germany, preserved in its original form – are also unique. The late Romanesque triumphal crucifix with statues of Mary and John under the entrance arch to the transept dominates the entire church. It presides over the room and the human path of the Romanesque church – out of the darkness and into the light – symbolised by the pillars which are connected to form an archway. Those who surround themselves with this special religious aura may be able to find their own path here.
Opening hours: May to September: 10am to 6pm; October to April: 10am to 4pm (closed on Mondays)
Entry: free

The Brunch Dish: Contadino at Maialino
Brunch menus to do your weekend right.
Brunch at Maialino is a dignified affair: it's quiet, classy, and when I dined there last week, there wasn't any wait to speak of. The Roman restaurant's brunch has been covered here extensively, but their menu is always different, changing with the whims of the nearby Greenmarket in Union Square. Take, for example, the Contadino ($15), which featured those perfectly poached eggs atop sauteed sweet corn, sungold cherry tomatoes, and mild jalapeños. A simple dish elevated by perfect ingredients, this was a relatively light option for brunch.
For something heartier, the Coppa Romana ($13) consists of a crispy fried hunk of pork terrine topped by another poached egg, all sitting on a bed of eggplant caponata. Again making use of the fantastic eggplant we're seeing at the market right now, the tangy, almost creamy caponata was the perfect accompaniment to the rich, fatty terrine. The poached egg is just gravy, figuratively and literally speaking.
Don't forget to grab something from the pastries or sides menu while you're there. I'm partial to their olive oil muffin, or Budino Di Olio D'Oliva ($3), though on this visit we tried the Maialino Scrapple ($6). Yes, fancy scrapple is a bit of an oxymoron, but it's hard to get too mad about it while eating this incredibly rich, savory version of the dish, which is basically a battered, fried terrine made from pork liver and belly. At first too rich for me, it was just perfect when cut with a squeeze of the accompanying lemon wedge.
With entrees ranging from $12-$15 and sides in the $6 neighborhood, brunch at Maialino isn't cheap, exactly. But those prices match up pretty nicely with the sort of brunch places that I, for one, live in fear of: line out the door, surly service, and food no better than your average diner. Considering that we had no wait, friendly, helpful service and seriously delicious food, Maialino's got one of the best brunches in town.

Part of United Biscuits, McVitie's is a long-established player in the market and manufactures a wide range of much-loved biscuit and cake products.
In an attempt to reduce the impact that its operations have on the environment and move towards sustainability, McVitie's is constantly on the lookout for new and improved production processes. However, when Grundfos presented McVitie's with the NOVAlobe, the company was a bit hesitant, as they only knew Grundfos as a supplier of top quality pumps for central heating and services.
On a trial basis the production sites in Glasgow and Carlisle agreed to test the Grundfos NOVAlobe. And since then, McVitie's have stopped looking for better alternatives.
The situation
McVities product production processes typically involve extremely abrasive liquids with a very high viscosity, such as fats/oils, caramel, chocolate, glucose and cake cream. Over the years, this had led to extensive problems with their process pumps. They were leaking far too often, requiring extensive repair work every 6-7 weeks.
The result was costly downtime, excessive maintenance costs, and less time for other important issues for the engineers on site.
Because McVitie's had no experience with Grundfos pumps for the process industry, Grundfos readily agreed to supply a NOVAlobe pump on an approval basis. McVitie's only needed to purchase the pump if they were completely satisfied with its performance.
The Grundfos solution
NOVAlobe is not just extremely reliable; it is also very resistant to highly abrasive liquids with a very high viscosity. In close coop-eration with Grundfos, engineering charge hands Andy Maitland and Brian Anderson at McVitie's tested different versions of the NOVAlobe and quickly found the NOVAlobe version that fit their requirements. And shortly after, the pump was installed on a trial basis.
More than 7 months later the pump has still not had a leak. However, in case of pump failure, the engineers at the factory have five hours to fix the pump before actual downtime occurs. As an extra safeguard, Grundfos established a small, on site spare part stock. In addition, all spare parts or new pumps from the nearest Grundfos service centre are just three hours away, which virtually eliminates the risk of costly downtime.
The outcome
Today, McVitie's has 7 NOVAlobe pumps operating in their Glasgow and Carlisle plant. The company is very pleased with their new pump solution and according to, Andy Maitland: "Grundfos is now an approved supplier and over the past year, we have exclusively purchased NOVAlobe"
In addition to a reduced spare part stock, one of the greatest ben-efits of one pump type at McVitie's is that the engineers can get familiar with repairing and replacing parts of one pump type only.
"The pumps are manufactured to the highest standards. The organ-isation and quality control are absolutely superb and I have abso-lute confidence in purchasing the products", Engineering charge hand at McVitie's, Brian Anderson.
Grundfos NOVALobe is designed to handle the demanding product production processes at McVities that involve extremely abrasive liquids with a very high viscosity

Its not just vaccinate... you have to cut and wean and blah blah blah. People like to act like there is no cost associated with that but you have to upgrade pens, you have man hours, equipment, risk, etc. Lets say you do actually make .10 X 500# calf... $50 total. Right off the top the auction barn gets their cut of the $50 before your costs... even before the govt. Then you subtract your expenses. Then, if there is any little bit left that you actually profit... uncle sam gets his cut. Thats what that scenario really looks like. Your $50 is actually more like $5 or $10 if you are lucky. Now multiply that by the number of calves you sell. $10 on 30 calves... you did all that for $300 at best... in a perfect scenario. Worse case scenario they don't give 2 flips what you do and dock you any way for some other make believe issue they dream up and you actually lose money.
Think about this stuff. They tell you to castrate your calves, then you have to give them a shot so they don't die, then you have to inject them with stuff to get them back to the weight of the bull calf you started with. Who tells you to do that stuff.... the guy buying the calf, the guy selling the drugs, the guy selling the equipment to castrate.... every one is making money but you.

Corticosteroid medicines—also called steroid medicines—are similar to natural hormones produced in the body that help control many necessary functions, including blood sugar and salt (electrolyte) levels, the body's water balance, and immune system function. These medicines may help provide relief for diseases that cause inflammation, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Common prescription steroid medicines include dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, and prednisone.
Long-term use of steroid medicine has many side effects, including weight gain, stomach ulcers, sleeping difficulties, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar (glucose), delayed wound healing, and a reduced ability to fight infection. Other problems associated with steroid medicine use include cataract formation, decreased blood flow to the hip joint that causes deterioration of the joint (aseptic necrosis or avascular necrosis), and osteoporosis.

Intended audience: XHTML/HTML coders (using editors or scripting), script developers (PHP, JSP, etc.), CSS coders, and anyone who wants to know how to use ruby annotations.
Warning: This article is only of historical interest, since the XHTML implementation of ruby markup has been succeeded by the model described in HTML5. The article is now well out of date.
A replacement for the section "Who is ruby?" can be found here:
Up-to-date information about how to work with ruby text in currently in development (but at an early stage). The working drafts can be found here:
Ruby is a name for small annotations that are rendered alongside base text. This is especially useful for Japanese and other East Asian content (ruby is known as furigana in Japanese).
The Ruby Annotation specification provides a way to mark up ruby text, and has been adopted as an XHTML 1.1 module. Work is under way in CSS3 on mechanisms to support styling of ruby text.
This article will introduce you to the basic mechanisms, and discuss the current state of the art with regards to ruby support.
Unfortunately, this ruby doesn't refer to a glamourous woman. This more prosaic technical term refers to a particular type of annotation associated with a base text. The name 'ruby' originated from a named font size (about half the size of the normal 10 point font) used by British typesetters.
Typically ruby is used in East Asian scripts to provide phonetic transcriptions of obscure characters, or characters that the reader is not expected to be familiar with. For example it is widely used in education materials and children's texts. It is also occasionally used to convey information about the meaning of ideographic characters.
In Japanese, where ruby is called furigana, phonetic transcriptions typically appear in hiragana above horizontal text and to the right of vertical text. Although ruby in Japanese is often in hiragana, it is also possible to occasionally find annotations in kanji, katakana (particularly in Japanese 'manga' comics) and Latin text.
Furigana typically appears below horizontal text, and to the left of vertical text on the rare occasions that it is used to express semantic information.
The use of ruby annotation is not limited to Japanese. Indeed it is not necessarily limited to any of the Asian scripts. It can be used as an annotation device for many different applications, such as linguistic glossing and annotation.
This following illustration shows examples of ruby text using Latin, kanji, and katakana for annotating base text.
This shows Simplified Chinese characters annotated with pinyin transliterations below each character.
Such annotation in Traditional Chinese commonly uses bopomofo characters to indicate pronunciation, and rather than the annotation appearing above the main text, it is included vertically to the right of each character, whether the main text flows vertically or horizontally.
Note how the tone marks appear to the right of the column of alphabetic bopomofo characters.
There are two aspects to dealing with ruby text: the first is to provide structural information through markup that relates the ruby and its base text; the second is to address presentational (styling) questions, such as whether long ruby text overlaps adjacent base text, whether short ruby text is centered or left aligned over a long base text, etc. In this section we look at expressing the structure using markup.
The W3C Recommendation Ruby Annotation (also available in Japanese) describes markup that can be used for ruby support.
The specification defines two variants of ruby markup, called simple ruby markup and complex ruby markup.
Simple ruby markup associates a single run of ruby text with a run of base text.
The example above shows the desired visual result, followed by the markup that should produce that.
We are looking to place the hiragana sequence かみしばい over the top of the base text 紙芝居, which is part of a longer sentence. The annotation is usually in a small font size.
The first step is to surround both the base text and the annotation with
ruby markup. Then, within that, add
the base text to a
rb (ruby base) element, and the annotation to a
rt (ruby text) element, in that
order. And that's it. Whether your user agent knows how to display this markup is another question, which we will get to later.
The markup for the whole sentence would therefore be:
Complex ruby markup can define more fine-grained associations between annotations and base text, and can associate two ruby texts with one base text. Let's look at this in easy steps.
Whereas the example of simple ruby markup we saw earlier associated a whole run of annotation text with a whole run of base text,
complex ruby markup allows you to indicate which bit of annotation relates to which character within a single
ruby element.
The example above shows the three characters in the base text 林和代 annotated for pronunciation with the three strings はやし, かず and よ. Each annotation is clearly aligned with its respective character.
To markup up the data in a way that enables us to achieve this we use two new elements,
rbc (ruby base
container), and
rtc (ruby text container). In the simplest case (shown on the slide), each of these elements contains the
same number of
rb and
rt elements, respectively. In this way, an
rb element
and its respective
rt element can be effectively paired together.
This is analogous to use of
td elements within
tr elements in HTML tables.
The markup for the whole, as shown on the slide, is:
<rbc><rb>林</rb> <rb>和</rb> <rb>代</rb></rbc>
<rtc> <rt>はやし</rt><rt>かず</rt><rt>よ</rt> </rtc>
The rule is: simple ruby has no
rbc or
rtc elements; complex ruby has rtc and
rtc elements.
One-to-many associations. We can get a little more clever about this. In the diagram below we use the same example, but the annotation is split into only two runs: the first above the family name, 林, and the second above the given name 和代. In other words, we have associated one run of annotations with multiple runs of base characters.
This is achieved by applying a method familiar to those who have created tables in HTML. The second and third rt elements become one, with the addition of an
rbspan attribute whose value is, in this case, 2.
The markup is now as follows:
<rbc><rb>林</rb> <rb>和</rb> <rb>代</rb></rbc>
<rtc> <rt>はやし</rt><rt rbspan="2">かずよ</rt> </rtc>
Multiple annotations. In our final example of complex ruby annotation we show how to associate base text with 2 annotations at the same time. The example at the top of the illustration below shows this for Japanese, where one annotation runs above the base text, and the other below.
In the example we keep this simple, using only a single
rb and
rt pair. What is new
here is that we have two
rtc elements within the
ruby element (but still only one rbc element).
Here is the code:
You cannot have more than two
rtc elements associated with a single
rbc element.
The Ruby Annotation specification provides no normative text about placement of annotations, leaving it up to the implementation. There are, however, some informative suggestions for user agents with regard to default styling. (There are also useful style properties specified in the CSS3 Ruby Module, which we will discuss in the next section.)
If an implementation follows the advice in the specification you could expect the font size of the annotation to be about half the height of the base text, and for the annotation in simple ruby to appear before the base text. 'Before', in this case, is a technical term used to refer to the area above a normal line of horizontal text, and the area to the right of a line of vertical text whose columns progress right-to-left (eg. vertical Chinese, Japanese and Korean text). You would also expect the ruby text to have the same directionality as the base text (ie. vertical or horizontal). If there are multiple annotations for a single base, you would expect the first to appear before the base, and the second after, ie. below horizontal text and to the left of vertical text whose columns progress right-to-left.
'Before' means to the left of a line of vertical Mongolian text, since the columns progress left-to-right.
This is likely to produce the expected results for Japanese text, but expected behavior may be different in other scripts. The specification notes, for example, that pinyin ruby commonly appears after the base text in Chinese. Additional styling support would be needed to achieve this in simple ruby.
Likewise, the specification draws attention to the fact that bopomofo ruby on Chinese text commonly appears to the right of characters in horizontal text but offers no advice about how to handle that.
Details of ruby formatting in a Japanese print context can be found in JIS X 4051 ("Formatting rules for Japanese documents" (日本語文書の組版方法) JIS X 4051:2004, Japanese Standards Association, 2004 (in Japanese)).
We will also see (next) that there are fallback features defined in the standard that enable base text and ruby to be presented sequentially on user agents that don't yet handle the markup.
While we are discussing rendering, there is one more bit of markup that we have not yet explored. If a user agent doesn't understand how to display ruby text, it will just display the base text immediately followed by the ruby text, using the same font size (as shown in the slide). This will be confusing to the reader.
rp (ruby parenthesis) element allows you to specify characters that will appear around simple ruby text if
the user agent doesn't support ruby presentation. You are most likely to want to use parentheses here, but any character or sequence of characters is
If we add
rp elements before and after the ruby text as in this example, when a user agent fails to recognize
the ruby text it will now appear within parentheses, which is much more acceptable. User agents that do know how to handle ruby will automatically
hide the contents of the
rp elements as they display the ruby in the appropriate location.
We can use any character within the
rp element. For example, Japanese uses different characters sometimes for
Note that this fallback mechanism is not available for complex ruby.
The CSS3 Ruby Module provides a number of properties for describing the placement of ruby text in relation to the base text. Note that this specification is not yet finalized, so this section will aim to give you an idea of what will be possible using this specification, rather than exhaustively listing all the capabilities.
We will use the words 'before' and 'after' with the same meaning as described earlier.
There are three main properties: ruby-position, ruby-overhang, and ruby-align.
Topics we will not discuss here include:
ruby-span property
display property that can be used to associate
arbitrary XML markup with ruby constructs defined in the Ruby Annotation specification.
The first property,
ruby-position, allows you to indicate where ruby text should appear relative to the base
ruby-position can have the following values:
inline, and
right. You would apply this style to the
ruby element.
To position the ruby text above horizontal base text or to the right of vertical text, use
ruby-position: before. This is
the default behavior.
To position the ruby text below horizontal base text or to the left of vertical text, use
ruby-position: after.
For example, if your document contains Chinese text with pinyin ruby, and you want all ruby to appear below the base text, you would include the following in your CSS declarations:
ruby { ruby-position: after; }
If you want to force the ruby text to appear inline you would use
ruby-position: inline. Note that due to an error this
is not explained in the current version of the CSS3 Ruby specification.
The parentheses in the illustration above need to be provided in the
rp markup.
ruby-align property addresses the relative alignment of ruby and base text when one is longer than the
other. Basically the effect is applied to whichever is shorter, the ruby text or the base text. It takes the following values: auto,
distribute-space, and line-edge.
Two separate words are chosen for these examples, one to the left, one to the right of the vertical line. This line is purely to separate the examples on the slides, and is not a product of the styling.
If you apply
auto the behavior is left up to the implementation, but the recommended behavior (described by
the JIS 4051 standard) is to apply
distribute-letter to full-width Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters, but to apply
center to others. This is the default behavior.
ruby-align: distribute-letter spreads the shorter text by applying even inter-character spacing so that the beginning
edges of the first ruby and base character are aligned, as are the end edges of the last ruby and base characters.
ruby-align: distribute-space does the same as
ruby-align: distribute-letter, but a small space is left
before the first and after the last of the affected characters.
ruby-align: center aligns the centers of the ruby text and base text.
ruby-align: left and
ruby-align: start are synonymous, and the result is to align the start of both ruby
text and base text.
ruby-align: right and
ruby-align: end are synonymous, and the result is to align the end of both ruby text
and base text.
If the ruby text is wider than the base text you can specify whether or not it overhangs any surrounding base text, and to what
amount, using the
ruby-overhang property. It takes the following values:
auto, start,
end, and
To allow the ruby text to overlap surrounding base characters on both sides use
ruby-overhang: auto. It is up to the
implementation to decide how much overlap to allow, but the JIS 4051 standard recommends a maximum of one ruby character width. The implementation
may also apply this selectively depending on the type of character - again there are rules for this in the JIS standard.
This is the default value.
ruby-overhang: start only allows ruby text to overhang the preceding base characters.
ruby-overhang: end only allows ruby text to overhang the following base characters.
ruby-overhang: none prevents any overhang.
The Ruby Annotation markup specification became a W3C Recommendation in May 2001, so this is completed work.
Ruby annotation markup is not valid in HTML 4 or XHTML 1.0 documents. However, the specification is one of the modules that make up XHTML 1.1. It is also expected to be one of the modules in XHTML 2.0, which is in development.
The work being undertaken by the Internationalized Tag Set (ITS) Working Group at the W3C to produce a markup vocabulary that schema developers can use to support internationalization and localization will most likely incorporate the ruby markup.
The CSS3 Ruby Module moved to Candidate Recommendation on 14 May 2003, but still needs some editorial work. Once the text is finalized, it will be necessary to find some implementations, and create and apply tests to move the specification to Proposed and then full Recommendation status.
The Ruby Annotation markup specification defines two levels of conformance. Implementations can support just simple ruby markup, or both simple and complex markup.
Internet Explorer 5+ supports simple ruby markup in various types of document. Although the actual implementation is not exactly the
same as the specification, it still does the right thing with standard markup. This means that when rendering it places ruby text above base text and
removes any characters in
rp elements. Since this markup is not standard for HTML or XHTML 1.0, we cannot advise that you
use it for those formats (your pages will no longer validate). However, simple ruby is also supported for XHTML 1.1 documents, where its use is valid.
The W3C browser, Amaya, supports both simple and (to a large extent) complex ruby display.
There is an extension for Mozilla, Netscape 7 and Firefox browsers that supports both simple and complex ruby, including
rbspan, for pages served as "application/xhtml+xml" (not as "text/html"). However, the download location warns that:
"This extension sometimes causes crush when you show popup menus, load webpages, or operate tabs, because it intrudes into operations about loading pages. Please don't use it if you would like to use stable browser."
Masayasu Ishikawa also wrote an article that proposes some workarounds for rendering simple ruby in Mozilla/Firefox, Safari and Opera version 8.
There are some tests for simple and complex ruby markup on the W3C site.
Internet Explorer also provides very limited support for some of the CSS3 Ruby Module properties, but not always using the same property values as defined in the specification. Otherwise you are unlikely to find support for these properties yet - which is hardly surprising, since the specification is not yet a recommendation.
There is useful information about ruby in Ken Lunde's book, CJKV Information Processing (ISBN 1-56592-224-7), especially chapters 6 and 7.

"You must love what you're doing to be here 53 years. If you hate your job, you're not going to last long," said Pappas. "I love the bikes; I love fixing them, I love repairing them."
That isn't to say that Grand Bicycle hasn't had its share of difficulties. Bicycle sales have been down since the recession hit, as people are finding themselves with less money to spend on luxuries like a shiny new bike. However, Grand Bicycle has seen an increase in service and repair orders. "Especially with the economy being tough, people are riding more for exercise and to economize on the automobile and gas expenses. They find bikes in their basements that have been sitting there for 20 years and they drag them up and get them rolling again," said Pappas.
One of the things Pappas loves about starting a business in the community he grew up in is that he's watched some of his customers grow up right before his eyes.
"We used to sell you a bike, now we're selling your kids bikes. It's gratifying to see generations changing and the younger generation coming in and to be servicing them," he said.
Pappas retired in 2002, handing the reins over to his son Dean, a fellow bike enthusiast and former racer. Father and son have often ridden together in the 40-plus miles Five Boro Bike Tour. Pappas still works part-time at Grand Bicycle to lend a helping hand however he can. "I'm very confident in Dean's ability to maintain the business and to help it grow," said Pappas. "Hopefully it will stay in the family a long time, another 53 years."

Thank you, Tanya!
p.s. I apologize in advance if I'm unable to post for the next few days due to power outages.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
One of my Boston-area friends says he's stocked up for the Hurricane with vodka, rum, and pineapple juice -- everything you need to make a Hurricane.
My mom has one of those canes. It sucks. I'm waiting for the damn thing to break and send her ass over teakettle and leave her broken in little pieces. Why am I waiting for that? Well, because she won't listen to me, and it's all that's left to do... worry.
Hope everyone gets through the storm safely. Pretty scary.
Is this HurryCane waterproof?
Darned megastorms (or whatever new snappy name they're calling that Sandy).
At least tornadoes roll through and be done with it (for the most part).
Hope the tribe stays safe.
Stay safe ~~~
megastorm! It's title is Frankenstorm!
Yes, stay safe we are in the Philly area and expected a rough two days. I am still not believing that this thing is actually going to make a turn but we will see!
The grocery stores pay the news stations to over-sensationalize these storms. That way they make a huge profit on all the stuff you normally wouldn't buy. How's that for a conspiracy theory? ;)
Hey, Moose -- tell your Boston friend that I'll be right over. I work for the State - All non-essential people are to stay home. OK, I guess I am as non-essential as anyone. Good luck to everyone. Tricia
Y'all stay safe now!
If I were to hurry I'd rather not use that cane. So if you have to run from the hurricane don't rely on a HurryCane.
Take care - all of you!
Power outages ??? What are you talking about??? Did I miss something ???
I have family in Sandy's path. I've been through more than a few hurricanes and snowstorms, and this will be a good time to sit and read real books.
Of course this is after you have denuded all retail outlets of batteries, flashlights, lanterns, lantern oil, ice, food and of course BREAD! Charge those portable devices while you can!!
For MOST people this will be a non-event, a good excuse to kick back for a day or so. For others, it will be a disaster (Roofs off, flooding, etc.)
So everybody in Sandy's path, take care, heed the warnings you get and remember, this will all be over in a few hours, days, etc.
I believe in hurricane preparedness. I ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's so it wouldn't melt.
I live just outside of Boston and so far, we have a windy rain storm, but not a lot of rain. The rain we do have is going sideways. The storm is a lot worse toward the coast with the whole tidal effect.
It could be worse. We could be on the snow side of the storm. They are talking about feet of snow falling in Virginia, I believe.
My daughter is a surgical assistant to a group of dermatologic surgeons. She HAD to go in today. Got there and sat for two hours without power. She then texted me and said that the power was back on and she had to go and assist with an "emergency botox injection" followed by an equally emergent blephoroplasty. You gotta hope the lights don't go out again just as the incisons in to the skin around the eye is made. Tricia
Here in south Jersey, Atlantic City is already under water. So are many shore towns. Thankfully, I still have power. I don't know for how long!
AAAAck, I actually bought a Hurry Cane toward the end of the summer and really like it. Can walk at work with nothing, but use the cane, a rolling walker or a wheelchair depending on the distance. I only wish the Hurry Cane came in pink istead of only in black, drat.
Anyway, for me it works better than a regular cane, but maybe it's simply not for everyone and it is not as stable as a quad cane would be.
I don't work for the manufacturer either. As you were about the storm though. Rainy with bad wind here in NE Ohio. Ha, residual hot air from the politicians has turned cold and blustery.
Downed trees/power lines. What to expect = WEEKS, not DAYs without power. Just the dynamics of it.
When those impacted and crying on TV get a chance,
google the annual power outages in midwest during snow and ice storms. no power for 6-8 weeks.
After surviving the storm. It is time to get a drink. Head down to your local bar and order a new drink... a Sandy. Don't worry-it is just a watered down Manhattan.
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

Street Food: NYC Cravings
The best food from the street.
At first I didn't understand how the brother-sister pair who owns NYC Cravings landed on the name. To my mind, the word "cravings" suggests a sweets truck, not hearty Taiwanese fare. Even co-proprietor Diana Yang admits "the name itself doesn't tell you that we sell Taiwanese food." They plan to start calling the truck Bian Dang—"lunch box" in English—sometime next year. Yet, one taste of Diana and Thomas Yang's menu reveals how apt the name actually is. Sweet, salty, and fried, these dishes do not respond to rational culinary desires. One hankers instead.
The pair graduated from Baruch in 2008. "There were all of these Halal carts around the school, and one day Thomas said to his friend, jokingly, that he was going to start a food cart." The truck launched in April of 2009, vending "pretty much the Taiwanese food we ate growing up. We use our grandmother's recipes."
I decided to start with two appetizers: the steamed pork dumplings and the Buddha's Delight ($3 each). The first was a crowd-pleaser, no doubt—accessible and yummy. The meat in these two-bite dumplings was sweet, moist, and tangy, with a well-calibrated splash of vinegar.
The Buddha's Delight, comprised of bamboo shoots, fried tofu, dried bean curd sticks, yellow flower vegetables, and wheat gluten, served cold, was a bit more divisive. This dish is arguably a little boring and way too oily, but I loved the variations of texture and the light sweetness of the bean curd. It wasn't my favorite, granted, but it was a solid vegetarian option in the midst of so much meat.
As for mains, I dug into the Taiwanese-Style Fried Pork Chop ($7) and the Tianbula ($8), or fish cake, both over rice with pork sauce.
The pork chop was the only one I thought actually went overboard on the fried/oily/cravings front. A bit too fatty with visible pools of grease, the meat lacked the wealth of flavor that serves as a lifeline for many of NYC Craving's other dishes. Even the pork sauce that accompanied the rice—a combination of stewed pork bits and punchy, aromatic vegetables—didn't quite save it for me. Give it a shot if you're a huge pork lover, but I've heard better things about the truck's take on the original white meat: Taiwanese-style fried chicken.
Lastly, the Tianbula was a real treat. Upon opening the container, a just-what-I-wanted fish smell rose up from the patty. It's flavorful in a way that is at once completely obvious—think fried fishy-fish sandwiches—and surprising. The starchiness takes away some of the fishier flavors, and the pork sauce underneath compliments the Tianbula perfectly.

We spent Christmas week in Texas, and got back on Sunday night. Our chicken sitter had a pretty easy time, since all she had to do was check their food and water every few days. We decided we could just leave the door between the coop and the run open while we were gone, and our chickens would put themselves to bed. Our chicken run and coop are so well fortified against animals and the elements, that they were quite safe.
On Monday morning, the coop needed to be cleaned out, so I set about washing the removable floor and changing the shavings. The hens free ranged for a while, and then I shut them in their run with the coop door closed while things aired out. I was up inside the house for a little bit when I heard some very loud clucking. I went down to see if there was something scaring the chickens, but they were all fine. I went back in, and, moments later, there was very loud clucking again.
After some sustained loud clucks over at least an hour, I decided to test my hypothesis that they were mad about not being allowed in their coop. So, I finished adding new shavings, closed the roof and opened the door between the coop and the run. Immediately, Peggy ran inside the coop and into the nesting box.
Ah ha! I thought. Peggy wants to lay an egg. I watched her mess with the shavings a bit and change positions a few times, trying to get comfortable, and then I decided to give her some privacy. About 20 minutes later, I came back and Peggy had laid her first lovely egg.
I had hoped that Peggy and Tina might start laying soon since they are 24 or 25 weeks old right now. Lisa laid much sooner than that, but I've heard the short winter days can keep hens from laying. I'm happy that Peggy decided to start egg production despite the lack of daylight. Perhaps Tina will follow her lead.

Consider the following sentence (off of the top of my head just to illustrate an example):
I hate the N.C.A.A....but I understand that it's a necessary evil.
When following an abbreviation with an ellipsis, should you have three or four dots? Should the period following the last "A" in "N.C.A.A." be omitted or included, given the ellipsis right afterwards?

Probably "praying" isn't a good word for the Orthodox practice. It is technically correct, for to "pray" means simply to "ask," or plead. It does not necessarily even have any religious meaning at all. Yet in this culture, it has become synonymous with "worship," and that, of course, conveys entirely the wrong message. We do not worship saints.
Christopher Orr has compiled a list of Scriptural and patrisitic quotations, which he says is not exhaustive, to illustrate that the practice is very ancient.
I am hoping to write a little "FAQ" piece on prayer to the saints in the next couple of days (although right now I must take advantage of this weather, which, being neither too hot nor too cool, is perfect for cleaning out my attic). Meanwhile, I found a list, on the Internet, of some of the hymns we sing to saints, said hymns comprising by far the bulk of what we ever say to a given saint. From that list, I pulled the first few saints who might be of special interest, either because they are American saints, or because they were from Thessaloniki, or whatever. I list hymns to each one here, just to show everybody how harmless they are. Truly!
St. Raphael of Brooklyn
Troparion (Tone 3) Rejoice, O Father Raphael, Adornment of the Holy Church! You are champion of the true Faith, seeker of the lost, consolation of the oppressed, father to orphans, and friend of the poor, peacemaker and good shepherd, joy of all the Orthodox, son of Antioch, boast of America: Intercede with Christ God for us and for all who honor you.
Kontakion (Tone 3) Today the memory of blessed Raphael has shone on us; for having received Christ's call, he faithfully took up his cross and followed Him becoming a fisher of men. Let us cry aloud to him saying: Rejoice O Father Raphael!
St. Mark of Ephesus
Troparion (Tone 4) By your profession of faith, O all-praised Mark the Church has found you to be a zealot for truth. You fought for the teaching of the Fathers; you cast down the darkness of boastful pride. Intercede with Christ God to grant forgiveness to those who honor you!
Kontakion (Tone 3) Clothed with invincible armor, O blessed one, you cast down rebellious pride, you served as the instrument of the Comforter, and shone forth as the champion of Orthodoxy. Therefore we cry to you: "Rejoice, Mark, the boast of the Orthodox!"
St. Innocent of Alaska
Troparion (Tone 4) O Holy Father Innocent, in obedience to the will of God, you accepted dangers and tribulations, bringing many peoples to the knowledge of truth. You showed us the way. Now by your prayers help lead us into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Troparion (Tone 2) You evangelized the northern people of America and Asia,
proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to the natives in their own tongues. O holy hierarch Father Innocent, Enlightener of Alaska and all America, whose ways were ordered by the Lord, pray to Him for the salvation of our souls in His Heavenly Kingdom!
St. Gregory Palamas
Troparion (Tone 8) [1] O light of Orthodoxy, teacher of the Church, its confirmation, O ideal of monks and invincible champion of theologians, O wonder working Gregory, glory of Thessalonica and preacher of grace, always intercede before the Lord that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion (Tone 8) [2] Holy and divine instrument of wisdom, joyful trumpet of theology, together we sing your praises, O God-inspired Gregory. Since you now stand before the Original Mind, guide our minds to Him, O Father, so that we may sing to you: "Rejoice, preacher of grace."
St. Polycarp
Troparion (Tone 4) By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, you became a successor to their throne. Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, even to the shedding of your blood. Hieromartyr Polycarp, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion (Tone 1) Through virtues, you offered spiritual fruit to the Lord, therefore, you were glorified as a worthy hierarch, wise Polycarp. Today, we who have been enlightened by your words extol in song your praiseworthy memory,
thereby giving glory to the Lord.
St. Alexis (Toth) of Wilkes-Barre
Troparion (Tone 4) O righteous Father Alexis, our heavenly intercessor and teacher, divine adornment of the Church of Christ! Entreat the Master of All to strengthen the Orthodox Faith in America, to grant peace to the world; and to our souls, great mercy!
Kontakion (Tone 5) Let us, the faithful, praise the Priest Alexis, a bright beacon of Orthodoxy in America, a model of patience and humility, a worthy shepherd of the Flock of Christ. He called back the sheep who had been led astray and brought them by his preaching to the Heavenly Kingdom!

Saint Emmelia
May 8th
Troparion (Tone 1)
Through thee the divine likeness was securely preserved, O Mother Emmelia; for thou didst carry the cross and follow Christ. By example and precept thou didst teach us to ignore the body because it is perishable, and to attend to the concerns of the undying soul. Therefore, doth thy soul rejoice with the angels.

I can't believe i'm having to ask what seems such a stupid question particularly as i've been a coffee 'nerd' for quite a few years.
I just bought Bialetti 2 cup stove top coffee maker, the resulting coffee was good but only enough to part fill a tiny coffee cup. Or what I would call a proper coffee cup.
My 2 cup press pot would produce twice as much coffee also the Aeropress would so they are 4 cup if I used the same terms.
Is there an accepted standard for what constitutes a cup of coffee.
The coffee basket in the stove top take just over 1 scoop for 100ml of water, my daily coffee fix of two cups in the morning uses two scoops for 200 ml of water in either the press pot or the Aeropress. In fact if we have coffee drinking guests and use a large press pot i'll use 2 scoops per person for.
On the basis of my press pot and the Aeropress the Bialetti stove top is a 1 cup.
Is it me ?
